Industry analyst, but obviously grains of salt and all. The SoC being ~360mm^2 makes more confident in a $499.99 price tag; any higher and it's DOA, IMO. I imagine GDDR6 and NAND will come down in price in a reasonable amount of time (assuming this coronavirus epidemic stabilizes).

The price of NVME 3D NAND M.2  was gonig up before this COVID-19 was breaking worldwide.  

I been wanting to get another 1TB drive for one of my PCs that I bought previous, twice last year at $99.99, and now it's $114 . 

 

For some reason I can't bring myself to pull the lever and get it because I feel like it's being gouged.

Yeah, I noticed this as well, but I thought this was because of the WD/Kioxia facility fire?

This console is ridiculous, even if the PS5 has a GPU leg up (doubt it), the heights they've reached with this system is really incredible.

Even more than the TF power, which is more than I was expecting... it's all the features and optimizations and new technologies that it has that make it really impressive.

 

I'm just glad it's hitting all the marks I was hoping it would hit wrt Mesh Shaders, Texture-space shading, VRS, and everything else.

 

I'm REALLY fucking interested in this Direct Storage API and their "Velocity Architecture"..

They have nothing good to announce compared to what MS is doing. It's obvious

[102020393023445948594 2,223]

literally all sony needs to do is announce 1 exclusive games and they've won next gen.

Demo of the QuickResume feature:

 

 

It's a tech demo because there will be no games to ever make use of this feature

Those are the quickest games of them all

Sampler Feedback Streaming (SFS) – A component of the Xbox Velocity Architecture, SFS is a feature of the Xbox Series X hardware that allows games to load into memory, with fine granularity, only the portions of textures that the GPU needs for a scene, as it needs it. This enables far better memory utilization for textures, which is important given that every 4K texture consumes 8MB of memory. Because it avoids the wastage of loading into memory the portions of textures that are never needed, it is an effective 2x or 3x (or higher) multiplier on both amount of physical memory and SSD performance.

 

This is another huge thing.  13.5GB for games doesn't sound like much more than the Xbox One X... but when you take into account all these features and optimizations... it's going to make a huge difference.  This.. augmented by the SSD transfer speeds and the decompression block will give developers huge amounts of memory to work with.

the system sounds amazing, but there's no way this is less than $599. if it's $499, i'll get it just for the engineering magic here.

$600 for XSeX and $400 for the other model is my guess.

i'm thinking $299 for the other model.
